The hotel is situated about a 20 minute walk back from the beach so is fairly quiet once the evening entertainment has finished at 11 pm with only a small amount of noise from people going back to their rooms. It is next to the Riu Waikiki and attached to the Riu Papayas. On first entering the hotel (classed as... More

This hotel was a bit dated and in need of a re-furb. but overall was clean and worth the money. It is mainly full of German and Dutch elderly guests and is closer to the gay pubs and clubs than the other ones that are quite a walk. You get what you pay for.

Because the reviews of this hotel spoke very badly about the rooms being a little rundown, we expected a mediocre hotel. The furniture in the rooms indeed is not very new, but the rooms are clean and the friendliness of the staff made our stay very pleasant. We found the beds a bit too hard for us, but that's something... More

Hated evety minute of this holiday. Weather was bad and cold. Never heard any english people in the hotel whatsoever. On a plus side the hotel was ok ,needs modernising, but room was cleaned daily as were towels sheets etc. The inside bar area looked like it had never been used. Entertainment was passable (just) but whilst one act were... More

I'm really surprised by the recent more negative reviews. I stayed here in may 2011 with a friend and we were both very happy with this hotel. If you don't like chavs, loud and rowdy groups and screaming kids then you'll enjoy this hotel!! Although the rooms are fairly basic, the communal area's have a classy feel to them, the... More

I will keep it short. The Staff at this hotel is nothing less than amazing. I can not remember beeing treeted this nicely within Europe at any resort/hotel. Front staff perfect. service around pool and bars - flawless. Of course the standard of rooms is nothing to brag about. Very standard, though fully acceptable. The only thing that annoyed me... More

My partner and I booked this hotel with First Choice about 2 weeks before we were due to depart. It seemed, at the time, a good deal out of all the other choices. As Gran Canaria isn't that large an island, the trip from the Airport to the Hotel took about 30 mins. Upon arrival at the hotel, the staff... More

Apartments are furnished as the furniture was worn out and really out. We booked a room without plan, so can not tell anything about the food. Staff was very formal, and mostly nice to the 45% Germans and 45% English in the hotel. Swimming pool was small, and also did not use this a lot. If you just need a... More
